    Note taking for developers and power users

    As far as individual commits, you can see the scope yourself: https://github.com/kjk/edna/commits/main/

    Yes, I like to work in relatively small, but logical, commits.

    Yes, I did have clear goals in mind. I knew I wanted multiple notes, storing notes on disk, command palette, encryption etc.

    I was writing the app for myself and using it every day, which helps with motivation and knowing what to do next.

    There were also changes based on usage. For example, I've added a top nav bar but occasionally it would obscure the text so I made it hidden when typing.

    As far as process, it's really simple: wake up, go to a cafe, code and repeat.

  • unforget

    Unforget is a minimalist end-to-end encrypted note-taking app without Electron.js

    This looks a lot like Unforget https://unforget.computing-den.com/demo (which was a Show HN few weeks back) also Heynote which others have mentioned already.

  • eidos

    Offline alternative to Notion. Eidos is an extensible framework for managing your personal data throughout your lifetime in one place.

  • RunJS

    RunJS is a JavaScript playground for macOS, Windows and Linux. Write code with instant feedback and access to Node.js and browser APIs.

    Me too - I currently use https://runjs.app/ while developing but this would fit better.
